Annex Wealth Management: Platform Profile

Overview

Annex Wealth Management is an SEC-registered, fee-only wealth-management firm offering investment management, financial planning, tax planning, estate-planning coordination and related services.

Current regulatory identity:

• Investment adviser: Annex Wealth Management, LLC
• CRD: 127987
• SEC number: 801-63505
• Current ADV filing: 2026

Its most useful public segmentation is not one universal minimum. Annex currently presents three consumer service lanes by typical investable assets and complexity.

May fit better for

• households below $500,000 that fit the Annex Ignite service lane;
• households with $500,000-$5 million seeking comprehensive wealth management;
• families around $5 million+ seeking Private Client services;
• clients who want investment, tax, estate and risk planning coordinated in one advisory relationship;
• investors who prefer a fee-only model;
• clients comfortable with progressive AUM pricing;
• eligible private-client investors considering public/private investment strategies.

May fit less well for

• investors seeking a bare-bones automated portfolio at a very low fee;
• users who want one identical service model at every asset level;
• clients who assume the Private Client $5 million reference is a universal legal minimum for Annex;
• investors who assume the 0.30% tier applies to the entire relationship;
• clients who want every tax-preparation or outside-service cost included in the advisory fee;
• investors who require every holding to be daily liquid.

Annex uses three current consumer service lanes

Current public positioning:

• Annex Ignite fit: less than $500,000 investable assets
• Annex Comprehensive Wealth fit: $500,000-$5,000,000 investable assets
• Annex Private Client fit: typically $5,000,000+ investable assets or at least $10,000,000 net worth

These references describe the intended fit of each service lane.

The standard schedule is progressive from 1.25% to 0.30%

Current fee disclosures show:

• First 500k: 1.25%
• 500k to 2m: 1.00%
• 2m to 5m: 0.75%
• 5m to 10m: 0.50%
• 10m to 25m: 0.40%
• 25m to 100m: 0.30%
• Over 100m: negotiable
• Schedule progressive: Yes

The current disclosure states fees are subject to negotiation based on scope and complexity and generally will not exceed 1.25% of AUM per year for the standard wealth-management schedule.

---

Billing generally occurs quarterly in advance

Current disclosure:

• Billing frequency: quarterly
• Billing timing general: in advance
• Fee base includes cash: Yes

Fees are based on the applicable managed account value at the quarter-end measurement point described in the agreement.

The presence of cash can matter because advisory fees can continue while cash yields may be lower than the advisory percentage.

---

Consulting can be separately priced

Current public/regulatory summaries describe consulting pricing that can be asset-based, project-based or flat-fee.

A useful current reference is:

• Consulting flat fee start: $1,000

---

Annex Ignite is not the same service experience as Private Client

Annex Ignite uses a more technology-forward, foundational service model for clients earlier in their financial journey or with less complicated circumstances.

Private Client adds more advanced planning for substantial wealth, including areas such as:

• estate and wealth-transfer planning;
• philanthropy;
• concentrated-position strategies;
• tax planning;
• public/private investments;
• advanced risk-management coordination.

---

Private Client can consider public/private investments

Current Private Client materials reference public/private investments and other sophisticated strategies.

A private investment can have its own minimum, qualification requirement, fee structure and liquidity limits.

---

Annex Tax Services is an affiliate and some tax work can be separately charged

Current Private Client material states tax preparation can be provided through affiliate Annex Tax Services LLC for a separate fee.

---

Custody is independent

Current client portal identifies independent third-party custodian access including:

• Custodian:
• Charles Schwab
• Fidelity
• Nationwide

Current advisory materials historically emphasize Schwab and Fidelity for managed accounts, while account type and service can affect the actual custodian.

Assessment

Annex is best reviewed as a tiered service platform rather than a firm with one minimum and one client experience.

The key distinctions are:

• Ignite below roughly $500,000;
• Comprehensive Wealth around $500,000-$5 million;
• Private Client typically around $5 million+ investable assets or $10 million+ net worth;
• a progressive AUM schedule rather than a flat rate;
• separate tax-preparation and private-investment economics when applicable.

The public service ranges help readers identify the likely lane, but the actual advisory agreement controls eligibility, pricing and scope.
